Greetings,
I have an old PDP-11 RL02 that I would like to read, to preserve its data
for archival purposes. Ideally I would like to extract and store every
block on the disk. I am in southern California but would be willing to
drive a day or so to anyone who still has an RL02 disk drive on a PDP-11 or
VAX and can read it.
I can bring a computer with X/Y/Zmodem/Kermit and RS-232 cables if that
helps.
Thanks,
Paul Hardy

What is the OS of the disks, what system was this disk used to create/save
files to the RL02?

Thank you for the kind responses to my request for help reading an RL02.
I am planning to meet someone who is within a day's drive of where I live.
I feel safer hand-delivering the disk pack than mailing it. If that does
not materialize, I will contact someone else who responded to this inquiry
of mine.
All the best,
Paul Hardy
